Virginia WoolfThey say the sky is the same everywhere. Travellers, the shipwrecked, exiles, and the dying draw comfort from the thought[.]
About This Quote
It is comforting to think that the sun rises and sets in every place. It is comforting for those who have lost everything and must carry on. It is comforting for those who feel that their time has come and they must go on to the next. It is comforting to those who wish to enjoy the beauty of the sky and the moon and stars at night, without fear of anything happening to them.
It is comforting to those whose souls seek salvation as they see so many people fighting it out. Those who find themselves here without a home or a country, who know they will never be able to return home again, but would still like to enjoy the world.
